Nor, ought vc less to ascribe to him the glorv that we are, permitted to enjoy the bounties nf his hand, in peace and tranquility, in peace w ith all the other nations of the earth, in tranquility among ourselves. There has, indeed, rarely been a period, in the history of civilized man, in which the general condition of the christian nations has been marked so extensively by peace and prosperity. Kurope, with a few partial and unhappy exceptions, has enjoyed ten years of peace, during which, all her governments, whatever the theory of their constitution may have been, are successively taught to feel tint t'rj end of their institution, is the happiness of the
people ; ana that no exercise ot power a
